GCSE History - Paper 2 - The Renaissance (Medicine) - What sort of questions will they ask?

Question

I've got my paper 2 history gcse on wednesday.

Our school are doing medicine through time so it will be on people like Vesalius, Pare, Harvey, and on inventions like the printing press.

But I really need to know, what sort of questions will they ask?

It's an hour and 30 minutes exam, so will there be a source based question, with a 3 part question..?

Or will it be an essay on something??

=\

Answer 1

o i just asked this same question! i wasnt sure whether it was on britain 1851 too?! but a friend just told me its just on the renaissance are you sure?!?!

Answer 2

to be honest nobody knows whats going to come up but i think it will be different questions and maybe be and essay but from what i can see in your future you are going to do well in this exam

Answer 3

Im taking the same paper, I was told that it was on British Renaissance. The main things to revise therefore are Harvey, Charles II and the Great Plague. Because paper 2 is source paper though, it is more about your ability to compare sources than your knowledge. Just make sure that you cross-reference and talk about the reliability of the source. ( btw if you are taking the same paper as me, paper 2 is considered as one of the hardest GCSE papers so the grade boundaries are pretty low :-)
